Aggressive angiomyxoma (AA) is a rare, slow-growing myxoid neoplasm of the pelvi-perineum. Because of its rarity, it is often initially misdiagnosed, frequently as a gynaecological malignancy. Surgical resection is the main treatment modality of AA, but, local recurrence rates are high. In order to reduce recurrence, the scope of surgical resection should be as broad as possible. Intra-operative pathological diagnosis is useful in deciding the scope of surgery, and wide excision may reduce recurrence.
